Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.

[–] MetroIsntAMetro@lemmy.jmss.io 2 points 2 years ago

Firefox nightly and beta allows full fledged desktop extensions as well

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Why is Firefox not on F-Droid? So weird how Fennec and Mull and some other forks are there, but not the OG.

alright now put on the ears and install Arch

Already have, and my Lemmy instance is iusearchlinux.fyi

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.

[–] meow_d@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i know this is a joke, but: firefox is still implementing manifest v3. the difference is that they're keeping WebRequest

[–] blahaj@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but they will keep supporting MV2 "for the foreseeable future", which means that all old extensions should keep working. It is going to be somewhat scary when they decide to remove MV2 support, but for now we are good.

[–] Zonkko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

IIRC they said that they will keep MV2 until they are able to make the extensions work without MV2

Firefox mobile with uBlock origin is a fucking godsend, the mobile web is nigh unusable without it because of ads.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Whenever I'm watching someone else use a browser and I see how many ads there are, I realize how great UBlock is.

[–] FishfoxNuro@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's also part of why I don't use apps for things like YouTube: I don't have to deal with ads if I just access the site like normal via Firefox.

[–] bottom_text@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Revanced my guy

[–] I_like_cats@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you want to put in a little effort: Youtube Revanced is the official Youtube app without ads

im losing it

[–] Khorgor666@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I found Firefox WAY before i found Lemmy, no Chrome on my machines, UBlock Origin, Noscript, Facebook Container, Video Downloadhelper, Firefox lets one retake control

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

If you like Facebook containers, try the Firefox Container Tabs extension.

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Librewolf is great; ngl it feels like vanilla Firefox has gotten too comfortable pushing sponsored content as of late

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tbf Mozilla needs money to keep doing good work, and I don't mind "paying" for Firefox like that when the only alternatives are "paying" by letting Google track and sell my personal data.

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is true. But honestly, when it comes to software I'd just rather be left alone, it's why I moved from Windows in the first place.

I totally wouldn't mind donating to Mozilla in some other way though.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they accept donations

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then

[–] GenericUsername@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That money's going to Mozila tho (or the Mozilla foundation or something, I never get the exact details right without looking up).

Anyway, the point is it will not be used to fund Firefox development if that is where you intend it to go. Can't, for legal reasons or other bs.

Probably no harm in donating whatsover, they do other great stuff aswell, just YSK.

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

as far ar I know:

the corporation builds the browser

the foundation does activism (and owns the corporation)

MZLA only exists because thunderbird needed some legal entity after Mozilla handed it over to the community

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

don't donate. they don't go to the browser

buy the VPN if you can. or pocket premium if such thing exists. those go to the browser

[–] PelicanPersuader@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used to use Firefox but half the websites I visted were broken on it. Companies don't make their websites compatible with it anymore which really sucks. If Chrome kills adblocker, I'll switch back, but it's just annoying when you get to the middle of a transaction and the site stops working because the devs were too lazy to test on anything but Chrome.

complaining here won't solve anything

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I was using Firefox on my phone forever because it can block ads on mobile, and moved back to it from Chrome when it came out that Google was basically going to make ad blocking impossible in chromium itself eventually. I had been using Firefox for a long time even after Chrome came out but started using Chrome during a period where Firefox was much slower and was having a lot of issues for some reason.

[–] Abel@lemmy.nerdcore.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm on Vivaldi AFTER Firefox. Am I a pos-furry?

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Is Chromium

[–] Crow_of_Minerva@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Vivaldi gang

[–] Abel@lemmy.nerdcore.social 1 points 2 years ago

can't hear to the others over the sound of my lateral bars and easy tab tilling

[–] RothyBuyak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox stopped working on my pc so I switched to opera

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like your PC might need a refresh. Apps don't usually break for no reason.

[–] RothyBuyak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know, but I really like how opera remembers tabs, so I might keep it anyway

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox remembers tabs as well, there are many days where ill start Firefox and ill be looking at the same tabs I'm looking at when i last closed it, and if not there's always the "restore previous session" option in the history menu.

It's an option in the settings for remembering previously opened windows and tabs.

[–] RothyBuyak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Thx, I'll look into it

[–] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Already using FireFox. It's nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.

[–] Devonian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3

[–] Ashhwaghandaa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Should I post this in opra gxs replies?

[–] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

LibreWolf is the best browser

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.

[–] bignuts700@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop

[–] dubstowel@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
